SWIMMING POOLS

Active movement, swimming competitions

One of the fundamental yet specialized types of pools is the swimming pool. Swimming pools are primarily used for performing swimming activities and water exercises. They are suitable for recreational swimming, training or competitive swimming, aqua fitness, and aqua aerobics. In addition, swimming pools can also be used for relaxation and unwinding in the water.

The standard lengths of the swimming pool for competitive swimming are 25 metres and 50 metres. For recreational purposes, the pool can be shorter. The width of the pool can vary, but is usually between 12 and 25 metres. For competitive swimming, it is necessary to adhere to a minimum lane width of 2.0 meters, ideally 2.5 meters, with the recommendation to install at least four swimming lanes. The pool can have varying depths, typically ranging from 1.2 meters to 1.8 meters. The water temperature in a swimming pool typically ranges between 26-28 °C
